Running pliers Moonraker 04-29-2007

I've been doing some small, pretty delicate stuff recently.

My running pliers have a jaw width of about 1" or more. I'd like to find
some runners with a much narrower nose, maybe 1/2" to 5/8". I've been
using some ring jaw pliers with some success, but got to wondering if there
were some narrower jawed runners out there somewhere?

Has anybody ever seen any groziers with rubber tips a la running pliers?
Regular groziers mess up my iridized glass.....

try dipping your groziers in that plastic dip stuff. it can be pretty
thin.. or thicker with repeated dips. m

My runners are nothing but dust collectors now. They do nothing that I
can't do better with grozers or my bare hands. When it gets small I use
two pair.

I haven't seen rubber tips but you can buy that dunk coat your tool
stuff. Maybe some duct tape.
